Sleep is the one thing that humans are unable to give up for any length of time. Even more so than water or food, our body simply shuts down when deprived of it. Yet, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), “more than 100 million Americans of all ages […] regularly fail to get a good night’s sleep” for one reason or another, leading to “a lowered quality of life and reduced personal health.”
Sleep is essential for tissue and cell repair, detoxification, and replenishing energy. Yet, while seemingly at rest, it also allows us to sort and store our memories and experiences, and somehow contributes to enhanced learning and mental performance. The growing field of research is beginning to uncover the details of what happens when we are “at rest,” and we still have much to discover about how it “works” to restore our bodies and minds.

One of the most effective ways to optimize your energy and combat fatigue is to implement time-restricted eating (TRE), as it improves your mitochondrial health and metabolic flexibility
TRE is a form of intermittent fasting in which you restrict all of your food intake to a certain number of consecutive hours each day. Keeping your eating to a window of six to eight hours a day is an achievable goal for most people
Your food intake, which impacts the circadian rhythm of your gut microbiome, and other circadian rhythms are intricately connected, and the more you can realign these circadian rhythms, the better your whole body will function, including your mitochondria
You also need to remove dietary and lifestyle factors that cause the energy depletion in the first place. Electromagnetic field exposure is one environmental factor. Leaky gut, caused by lectins in your diet, is another factor that needs to be addressed
When food particles are able to cross your gut lining, they cause chronic inflammation that requires a lot of energy to combat, thus causing fatigue and general malaise
For those of you unfamiliar with Dr. Gundry, he believes lectins in plants are killing us. One must always question ideas that fly in the face of thousands of years of history. Please see this article for a balanced review of this premise. (Most lectins are neutralized by cooking) As always: discuss these issues with your practitioner as there may be a good reason for you to avoid them – or not. Diet, is extremely individual and you need to do what’s best for your body.
Moderna’s Top Scientist on mRNA Technology in COVID Shots: “We are Actually Hacking the Software of Life”
Comments by Brian Shilhavy Editor, Health Impact News
Veteran investigative reporter Leo Hohmann has discovered a 2017 Ted Talk presentation by Dr. Tal Zaks, the chief medical officer at Moderna Inc., where he clearly explains in layperson’s language just what the mRNA technology does in vaccines. (Thanks to Patrick Wood of Technocracy News for publishing this.)
As Dr. Zaks clearly states, they are:
“hacking the software of life,” by injecting their own genetic code into humans.
What we are witnessing in this new class of “vaccines” is clearly the wedding together of digital technology born out of the computer age, with Darwinian biology and medicine.
In short, the new technocrats of medicine actually believe they can improve the design plan of human beings, replacing God.
This is not a conspiracy theory, as they are very arrogant and very open about just what they dream about achieving.
This is first and foremost a belief system, with very little to no science involved to back up their claims.
We are quickly moving from the realm of science fiction and entertainment, as we see in Hollywood presentations such as Star Trek, where humans can be disassembled and transported (beamed) through space and miraculously put back together instantly, or food can be “replicated” at the push of a button, to real life experiments based on these beliefs by Billionaire psychopaths who have nothing better to do with their wealth other than try to improve upon the human race.
Welcome to the brave new world of post-COVID, and the transhumanist agenda. The software engineers of yesterday, who cannot even create a virus-free computer operating system, are now in charge of the “software of life” and working together with the Big Pharma criminal cartel. They also fund and control what is broadcast in the corporate media.
What could possibly go wrong?
Moderna’s top scientist: ‘We are actually hacking the software of life’
Dr. Tal Zaks, the chief medical officer at Moderna Inc., explained in a 2017 TED talk how the company’s mRNA vaccine was designed to work.
Over the last 30 years, he said,
“we’ve been living this phenomenal digital scientific revolution, and I’m here today to tell you, that we are actually hacking the software of life, and that it’s changing the way we think about prevention and treatment of disease.”
He went on to explain [see video below] that the human body is made up of organs and organs are made up of cells.
In every cell there’s this thing called messenger RNA or mRNA for short, that transmits the critical information from the DNA in our genes to the protein, which is really the stuff we’re all made out of. This is the critical information that determines what the cell will do. So we think about it as an operating system.
So if you could change that, if you could introduce a line of code, or change a line of code, it turns out, that has profound implications for everything, from the flu to cancer.
I reported on Feb. 4 that Moderna describes its new vaccine as “a computer operating system” but I was not aware at that time that Zaks had spoken three years ago about this, totally debunking the establishment media’s lie that mRNA vaccines don’t alter your genetic code.
He could not be more clear when he said “We are actually hacking the software of life.”
Zaks stressed that in 2017 his company was working on a vaccine that would not act like any previous vaccine ever created.
“Imagine if instead of giving [the patient] the protein of a virus, we gave them the instructions on how to make the protein, how the body can make its own vaccine,” he said.
Zaks said it took decades to sequence the human genome, which was accomplished in 2003, “And now we can do it in a week.”
He proceeded to reveal, in 2017, his company’s plans to make individual cancer vaccines, tailored to the needs of individual cancer patients, “because every cancer is different.”
Interestingly, one of the most potentially catastrophic side effects of the mRNA vaccine is its interaction with cancer cells. According to a study at New York City-based Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the mRNA has a tendency to inactivate tumor-suppressing proteins, meaning it can promote the growth of cancer cells.
Both the Moderna and Pfizer injections are experimental mRNA vaccines. The FDA has only granted these injections Emergency Use Authorization [EUA] and they will remain in trials through 2023, yet the government, media and corporations are all promoting them as though they are guaranteed safe.
This systemic deception will, in my opinion, end up being judged in the rear-view mirror of history as one of the most reckless acts of medical treachery ever committed against the human race.
If this so-called vaccine does cause more people to get cancer, think of the possibilities from a purely business point of view.
Based on the predictions of Dr. Zaks, who oversaw the creation of the vaccine now being given to millions of people worldwide, the same Big Pharma companies that could potentially give people cancer with one vaccine could step forward later with another vaccine offering the cure for cancer. If you are the CEO of a mega pharmaceutical who answers to profit-driven Wall Street shareholders, that’s a brilliant strategy!
But is it ethical from a medical point of view? That’s a question nobody is asking.
As I listen to Dr. Zaks lay out the achievements of his company in creating the mRNA vaccine, I cannot help but think of how incredibly arrogant it sounds. That scientists think they can rewrite the genetic code [his words not mine for all you out there who still don’t believe these mRNA vaccines change the genetic code just because some ‘fact checker’ says they don’t], believing they can improve on a person’s God-given genetic makeup is entering dangerous territory.
Who’s to say they won’t correct one problem and create something far worse?
Zaks wrapped up his 2017 speech with the following words.
“If you think about what it is we’re trying to do. We’ve taken information and our understanding of that information and how that information is transmitted in a cell, and we’ve taken our understanding of medicine and how to make drugs, and we’re fusing the two. We think of it as information therapy.”
Information therapy. Just like a computer software code.
These scientists truly believe that the human body is nothing more than a machine that can be hacked into and reordered according to some programmer’s instructions.
The same ground-breaking nature of this research that excites some, is what horrifies others.
A person’s genetic makeup is, as Dr. Zak said, “the software of life.”
If this is true, then who should be the ultimate authority over each human being’s genetic software code? If we truly live in a free society, wouldn’t it stand to reason that we would want to have an energetic debate over how to answer that question? Shouldn’t it be the number-one issue being debated in Congress and the media?
Instead, nobody is allowed to even ask these questions without being threatened, censored, rebuked, deplatformed. Members of the corporate media who dare broach the question get fired.
Contrary to what some scientists believe, we are not machines. We are human beings with bodies, souls and free wills. Anyone who tries to mandate the acceptance of an experimental gene-altering treatment is going against the international Nuremberg Codes, which require informed consent of any experimental treatment.
Dear readers: Please do not allow your employer, your government, your family, your friends or anyone else to intimidate you, or in any way try to persuade you, to accept this experimental treatment if you do not want it.
You are your own health authority, period. If your employer threatens you with termination for rejecting this injection, please contact an attorney.

FOCUS ON COVID-19 LEADS TO DELAYED DIAGNOSIS OF LYME DISEASE
Hello, and welcome to another Inside Lyme Podcast. I am your host Dr. Daniel Cameron. In this episode, I’ll be discussing a unique case involving a 67-year-old man whose diagnosis of Lyme disease was delayed because clinicians suspected his symptoms were due to COVID-19.
The authors report that this case “illustrates the overlap of symptoms among disparate infectious diseases and the risk of a narrow approach and focus on COVID-19 in patients with undifferentiated febrile illnesses, such as Lyme disease.”
In July 2020, the man presented with symptoms consistent with COVID-19. He had chills, body aches, fever, headache, and neck ache.
Doctors concluded he suffered from a viral-like illness and instructed him to quarantine until results from his COVID-19 test were obtained. His COVID tests were negative.
The patient’s symptoms slowly resolved without treatment.
6 weeks after symptom onset
Six weeks later, however, he developed a rash on his arm. A dermatologist diagnosed the rash as an insect bite reaction rather than Lyme disease.
However, test results for early Lyme disease were positive with 3 of 3 IgM Western blot bands. In addition, 4 of 10 IgG Western blot bands were positive.
The patient was treated with one week of doxycycline.
After 7 days of doxycycline, the man developed double vision due to sixth nerve palsy. He also suffered from headaches, neck stiffness, and new onset fatigue.
At this point, the patient was referred to a Lyme disease telemedicine referral clinic, where a diagnosis of Lyme disease was confirmed.
“This delayed diagnosis of Lyme disease in the patient we describe resulted in disseminated infection and sixth nerve palsy,” the authors write.
The patient’s spinal tap was negative. He was treated with 200 mg of doxycycline twice a day.
After 4 weeks of treatment, his sixth nerve palsy had resolved. However, he still had minimal double vision with extreme right gaze, along with difficulty initiating sleep, mild anxiety, mild daytime fatigue, and subtle, difficulty with his short-term memory.
Diagnostic issues during a pandemic
In this case, doctors focused on screening the patient for COVID-19 and recommending he quarantine. However, the man never developed COVID-19.
“They [clinicians] did not suggest further testing or give input on what could have been the cause of the chills, muscle aches, etc., ” the patient wrote. As a result, his diagnosis of Lyme disease was delayed for 6 weeks.
Novak and et al. proposed that the diagnostic delay was due to clinicians focusing solely on COVID-19 rather than examining other possible causes. Lyme disease was not considered until the patient developed an erythema migrans (EM) rash, 6 weeks after his onset of symptoms.
The man’s diagnosis was confirmed by a Lyme disease telemedicine referral clinic and he improved with treatment.
The man wrote about his frustrations with diagnostic delays even before the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I have spoken to several former business colleagues about my experience with Lyme disease. Their comments were similar; friends/family members who had Lyme disease in past years expressed the same complaint: Lyme disease was not tested for in the first stages of the illness because of the lack of a rash. Their stories were remarkably similar to mine. They experienced health problems before Lyme testing was finally considered and done.”
Editor’s perspective
The patient was left with chronic manifestations of Lyme disease. The authors did not address whether a persistent infection might be the cause of these chronic manifestations.
The following questions are addressed in this podcast episode:
Was this man’s case of Lyme disease typical?
Why is the author’s inclusion of “July” important?
What is a 6th nerve palsy?
The patient developed an EM rash 6 weeks after symptom onset. Is this unsual?
The dermatologist unfortunately attributed the rash to an insect bite reaction?
What is the significance of Western blot test results?
Why was the spinal tap normal?
Is it unusual to develop new symptoms (in this case, double vision) AFTER a week of antibiotic treatment? What would cause this?
Have you seen diagnostic delays for Lyme disease patients during the COVID-19 pandemic?
What are some of the causes of diagnostic delays?
What are the consequences of diagnostic delays?
The patient still had several symptoms following 1 month of treatment. What are your concerns regarding the remaining chronic manifestations?
How has the use of telemedicine helped you in caring for your Lyme disease patients?

“I was shocked at the level of emotion, anger and feelings of loss that surfaced,” she recalls. “I realize now that these were stages of grief that I had neglected to make room for or acknowledge. The storytelling process was a process of healing. I was so touched by the powerful stories that others shared so honestly and vulnerably, and I hope that the sharing of my story will both uplift and touch others.” Monica White Source

**Comment**
This reminds me of two events that woke me up to the depths of emotional healing. The first for me happened when I started using the Biomat daily due to severe pain. My physical therapist was offering free sessions and they coincided with a time where I was suffering horribly. I told him to “crank up up as high as it will go” and proceeded to sweat under a blanket which served as a tent – for an hour. Head exposed, it wasn’t long and I was sobbing. Tears pooling in my ears, I took inventory and asked myself why? Later, I shared what happened and my PT said that it’s a common emotional detoxification response. Evidently we hold a lot inside during this battle.
The second time it happened was when I received an upper cervical adjustment. I had to be at the office at 4:30 a.m. (yes, you read that correctly) for my first appointment that lasted until about 1:00 p.m. After the initial x-rays and adjustment, I “rested” in a quiet room where I proceeded once again to ball my eyes out. Good thing I was the only one there! He too told me this is a fairly common response to helping the body out, which is working overtime trying to find homeostasis.
Our bodies are incredible.
In both cases I was struck with an overpowering sense of gratitude. This journey, while extremely difficult, contains many silver linings if you look for them.
